Dried Bean Curd Sticks Dou Sun Handmade Sichuan Tofu Skin Rolls for Cold Dishes and Cooking 250g

Dried Bean Curd Sticks, known as Dou Sun (豆笋), are a traditional handmade soy product from Kaijiang, Sichuan. Made from soybean milk that is gently heated so a thin film forms, then rolled and dried, they are a plant-based ingredient rather than a botanical herb. In everyday Chinese cooking they are valued for their chewy bite and ability to absorb sauces and broths. Store in a cool dry place and soak until soft before cooking.
